Ratings and reviews

I'm fortunate that in the area where I live many of the local footpaths are shown on OSM - they aren't all on Google Maps. With this app I can walk the footpaths and know exactly where I am, I can also navigate and plan routes. It's very fast, even on my cheap entry-level smartphone, and it's very simple and reliable to use. Excellent piece of software!

Does what the name says. Love simplicity and especially the fast switch between default and TopoMap. Wishlist: When using active GPS and CenterMap it would be great if the map would stayed centered on the GPS position. For those that can read maps this would make a turn-by-turn navigation obsolete in a lot of cases.

I like this app. It is simple and fast to use, has a straightforward, uncluttered user interface, and, best of all, shows footpaths and byways in my area that Google Maps does not show. The only thing I find missing is a search facility. If it had that, I'd give it 5 stars. Kudos and thanks to the developer.
